ROUGE 2.0 is an easy to use evaluation toolkit for Automatic Summarization tasks. It uses the ROUGE system of metrics which works by comparing an automatically produced summary or translation against a set of reference summaries (typically human-produced). ROUGE is one of […]
ROUGE stands for Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation. It is essentially of a set of metrics for evaluating automatic summarization of texts as well as machine translation.
